Back to writing

This post is definitely not a guide to success for a weblog, it is about something I neglected: write well and write when you want to. It doesn’t matter whether a text is technical or not, it doesn’t matter whether you have a big audience or not and it doesn’t matter whether you write long or short texts. If you write well, it will be appreciated by your audience. Quality requires great style of writing as well.

It’s true you can’t easily concentrate to writing when there are so many things spinning around you. For this website things are somewhat a bit more tricky since it’s bilingual. When I started with it I used to write first the English version of each post and the Greek one came second. By time I saw, since English isn’t my mother language, I got constrained. So now I begin with the Greek text and I kind of translate it in English.

Obviously when you write in a foreign language you have to cross check your syndax and grammar and this takes time and energy. I can’t say I am a good writer but I try to. The strange thing is that in English is easier for me to convert the messages into words and keep up with my style.

The mystery was solved between cooking and cleaning the house. I discovered I started to lose my appetite for good writing. By the time I realized it I started caring once more. I now have accepted that coming back to writing takes time and training and I am pretty eager to make some good efforts towards it.

So I start with re-writing the main areas of this website. I ‘ll do it when I feel to. At the same time I ‘ll try to write better posts as well. I may start with a few stumble steps but I will make it in the end.
